1. A method comprising:
determining, by one or more processors, a delivery pattern in which a first quantity of puffs of a first aerosolizable material comprising nicotine alternate with a second quantity of puffs of a second aerosolizable material comprising citric acid, wherein the second aerosolizable material does not include nicotine, wherein determining the delivery pattern includes determining a ratio between the first quantity of puffs and the second quantity of puffs to deliver a quantity of nicotine over a time period;
providing, based on the delivery pattern, the first quantity of puffs alternating with the second quantity of puffs;
receiving, by the one or more processors and in response to the providing, user feedback associated with the delivery pattern; and
modifying, by the one or more processors and based on the user feedback, the delivery pattern,
wherein modifying the delivery patterns comprises intermittently providing modified delivery patterns which differ from an expected optimal delivery pattern, and modifying, based on user feedback from the provided patterns, the delivery pattern,
wherein individual modified delivery pattern comprises a sequence of providing the first aerosolizable material alternating with the second aerosolizable material,
wherein the individual modified delivery pattern is different from the expected optimal delivery pattern, the expected optimal delivery pattern comprising a sequence of providing the first aerosolizable material alternating with the second aerosolizable material.
